Filezilla is good, and you'll also find the old traditional ws_ftp, and there's a Firefox add-on called FireFTP, and others.
The *way* to do it is, you get the name of your FTP server from the hosting company when you sign up with a hosting company (the place where your website files are stored). They also give you, the userid, password, and other setup information, if necessary, like a "folder" into which files are stored. You'll use these with your FTP program to setup an account, then you'll "connect" to the FTP server. You can then Send files to the FTP server from a chosen folder on your computer, or receive files or rename or delete files there, or list the files in the directory there.
That's about it...

use a program such as cute ftp.
You log on to your account and basically drag the files over to the account
it "uploads" the files to your site

There are lots of free ftp programs available '
look to the examples in your hosting service for ftp to figure out what they recommend

You can download an application - Leech is a good free one: http://www.download.com/3000-2356-10122208.html
If you're not at all familiar, IE will work too. Just go to ftp.sitehere.com and you'll be prompted to login. Then it's open just as another folder on your computer and you can drag and drop.
